Azalina: Rafizi's arrest in accordance with the law

The Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department said Rafizi’s arrest was made in accordance with Section 15 of the Criminal Procedure Code.

She added that in her opinion, Section 7 of the Houses of Parliament (Privileges and Powers) Act 1952 (which provides that MPs are not liable to civil or criminal proceedings for anything said before the House) did not give immunity to parliamentarians who committed a crime.

“I believe that the police have their own justifications on why they arrested him at that location,” Azalina said in a statement on Wednesday.

The Pandan MP was arrested on Tuesday under the Official Secrets Act (OSA) to facilitate investigations over claims he made against the Armed Forces Fund Board (LTAT).Rafizi was arrested in front of Parliament as he was leaving Parliament House.

Tolerating intolerance

Intolerance is rampant at every level and in all age groups of the society, but it is more visible amongst the younger generation as our youth can be seen losing their altitude of patience over petty issues. We seriously need to think over it as what we are going to inculcate in them, which may help them seek success in future. Will it be tolerance or intolerance?

International Conference "Expose War Crimes – Criminalise War"

“Wars increasingly involve the killings of innocent people and are therefore, abhorrent and criminal. Killings in war are as criminal as the killings within societies in times of peace. Since killings in peace time are subject to the domestic law of crime, killings in war must likewise be subject to the international law of crimes. This should be so irrespective of whether these killings in war are authorised or permitted by domestic laws.”
